It was a crap decision by a ref who had little control on the

whole game. The number 14 typified a Pardue team. He dived at every opportunity and when he went down from throwing himself at Russell the first thing he did when he hit the deck was to take a sneaky look at the ref to see how much more acting was required. The only saving grace was when Martin finally gave him what he deserved down near the Brclay by-line just before the end. Every Pardue team is the same and I wouldn't mind so much if he wasn't such a self-righteous git when it comes to decisions affecting his team. I'm sure Pardue went to the same school of management as a certain G. Roeder.
